Tremfya improved fatigue in patients with psoriatic arthritis

[Caroline]

In terms of PSA, if a treatment is working, that means less pain and better sleep which would result in less fatigue no?

Regardless of the treatment?

Hi KatT,
I would indeed think like you on this thing. Better sleep — more energy.
But.... it seems that this kind of fatigue is far more reaching. If you don’t have that it is very hard to imagine. The also state this in the information that 50% of the sufferers seem to have it, which means that 50% also doesn’t
It probably has to do with some kind of unbalance that is cause by the disease, that also causes the Psoriatic Arthritis.
They say that it is a side effect of the Psoriatic Arthritis, but I think that it is different. I think we have a disease that has several effects, which can be psoriasis and/or Psoriatic Arthritis and/or chronic fatigue.
The real disease is deeper in our system, what we experience are only the manifestations of it.

Often it is stated: Psoriasis is a skin disease.... obviously not true... it is a system disease that manifests on the skin.

Luckily I myself do not suffer from this fatigue. Always plenty of energy.
